High and Low Energy States of Cytochromes

II. IN SUBMITOCHONDRIAL PARTICLES

From the ¹ From the Johnson Research Foundation, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104

Reversed electron transfer in submitochondrial particles causes the oxidation of cytochromes a₃ + a and c, and reduction of cytochrome b upon addition of adenosine triphosphate, indicating a crossover point for the energy-linked reversal of electron transfer between cytochromes c and b.

The cytochrome component designaged b₅₅₅ is uniformly observed to show increased absorption in the low to high energy transition and vice versa. It is tentatively identified as a high energy intermediate in the energy transfer pathway.

The 555 mµ compound is distinguished from cytochrome c by its presence in KCl-washed cytochrome c-deficient particles and by the lack of evidence for their interconvertibility. Its identification as a cytochrome of type b is confirmed.
